the flower Kiosk
2021, art installation together
with Maria O’brian.
The Flower Kiosk was a textile design exhibition created for the first Southern Sweden Design Days in May 2021.
In the month before, we opened up a fake business called Candytuft, and a hotline to which you could call and request a “Flower message.” The messages were translated using Floriography, the victorian language of flowers, and turned into collage-style textiles. We displayed them in a small empty kiosk in Sankt Knut, Malmö, transforming it into an exhibition space.
Do you feel suffocated by your last tinder date but don’t feel like ghosting just yet?
Are you not at all convinced by your friends new business idea, but can’t really say it to their face?
Are you scared of conflict but feel the need to tell someone politely, to fuck off?
As experts on the flower language we can get any message across. By packaging a hard message into a textile bouquet you soften the blow, and also don’t need to work up the courage to face conflict - we’ll deliver the message for you!
Ps. the number doesn’t work anymore.
